Deskjet 3525
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

I have looked at several threads here, but nothing seems to work.

How do I print in black and white or grayscale from my HP Deskjet 3525.

Also, how do i set the default to grayscale.

 

There are answers in this forum for Windows settings, but I'm on a Mac.

 

THanks,

Hi there, is this happening in all programs you try and print from? Here's how I was able to print a PDF file to the Envy 4500 without using any colour ink:

 

File -> Print -> Properties -> Paper/Quality -> Advanced -> Document Options -> Print in Grayscale : Black Ink Only 

 

I have attached the image on selecting the options

I am an HP employee. Although I work for HP. I'm speaking for myself and not on behalf of HP.

Thanks so much. This was perfect.

The fact that this setting is included in the "paper quality" category is baffling!
